Hope in Emma's Garden
"Dear Santa... are you there?" Nova whispers cautiously.
Even though the elves spent the whole day yesterday telling him about Amtmandshave, Santa Claus is still sitting in his chair with his eyes closed.
"What should we do?" asks little Nille worriedly.
"We mustn't give up!" replies Norbert firmly. "Can't we tell him a little about Emma's Garden? So many good things have happened there this year!"
"Yes!" Nova says eagerly. "They've got a barbecue area and raised the flag!"
"And they've created a fantastic community," adds Nabi. "There are flea markets, communal meals, and a flag club—and people help each other with everything!"
"And by the lake, they've built the most beautiful shelter and a campfire site," says Nille proudly.
Slowly, Santa Claus opens his eyes and looks at the four elves, who are almost jumping for joy. A small smile now crosses his lips... but not many seconds later, his eyes quietly close again.
"Oh no," sighed the elves in unison. "We must find even more good stories..."
The story continues tomorrow...
